It takes a strong man to assume the title of Thor…and an even stronger man to wield that hammer. That is where Chris Hemsworth comes in.

In this picture, the actor who recently played George Kirk in Star Trek - and will play the Jed Eckert character in the Red Dawn remake - shows off the forearms will get him through Thor (and The Avengers).

Despite a star-studded cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgaard and Rene Russo - it appears Hemsworth will be more than able to hold his own.

Look for Thor to hit theaters on May 6, 2011.
